Review and specifications
2025 Ford F-150
The F-150 continues to be a workhorse but it adds more tech, advanced safety features, and a hybrid version for the 2021 model year. The mildly upgraded cabin remains very quiet, and the crew cabs we tested are super roomy. The popular 2.7-liter turbo-V6 provides effortless acceleration and respectable fuel economy, at 19 mpg overall. The new "PowerBoost" hybrid has loads of power and gets 20 mpg overall. The F-150's ride and handling have improved slightly. Clever new features include a foldaway gear selector that creates a flat workspace, a tailgate designed to serve as a workbench, and an optional built-in generator with the ability to power job-site equipment. The F-150 has Ford's easy-to-use, new Sync 4 infotainment system. Every F-150 comes with standard FCW and AEB with pedestrian detection. An all-electric version of the F-150 called the Lightning, is also available. A refresh in 2024 made the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 the standard engine option and all versions got a 12-inch infotainment screen. Both BSW and RCTW became standard. Ford's BlueCruise active driving assistance system also became available.

About Ford
<p>Ford shifted away from cars this decade, focusing on SUVs and pickup trucks, with the Mustang as the lone exception. Fords are seldom leaders in their segments based on CR’s tests and surveys, but the small Maverick and full-sized F-150 trucks are notable standouts. Some other models score well enough to earn our recommendation, such as the Escape Hybrid and Bronco Sport. The Mustang Mach-E EV is Ford's highest-scoring current model. Overall, Ford's new car reliability is above average, but it varies, so used-car buyers should be mindful to check our ratings. </p><p><br/></p>
